All you get are the reports -- no credit score. Although, I should note two things:

1. For the past two years, getting one from TransUnion is damn near impossible.

2. The old credit scoring model is being replaced with one that makes sense (based on a 1,000 point scale, rather than the ridiculous one they use now which makes no sense to anyone except the geek who created it).

Still, Bwana's point stands: It's vital that EVERYONE get a copy of their report. You never know what the hell they put on it (I had a bunch of stuff from my sister ... which is not a good thing).
